eat a lot of sugary stuff. At least 2 hours in you'll start bouncing off the walls.

I work 9pm - 7am and the night shift is an ass kicker.

You really have to keep yourself on a schedule, sleep the same times everyday for the same amount, and don't oversleep. I usually sleep from 8am or 9am to about 2 to 3pm

for the first week eat a candy bar every hour or so, but no coffee cause coffee just makes you tired when the caffine wears off.

I worked overnight at IBM. We slept. People would be camped out under their desks and when a phone would ring, a hand would come up over and pick up the phone and pull it back under the desk. Wednesday nights were "Half Life Nights" because we had a full shift of 8 people. We fragged until about 5 or 6 in the morning. That or we played Age of Empires or GTA. One time we were playing Half Life, and somehow a 9th player joined in. Now ... it was impossible for Internet users to get in, and the player was pinging 10's. He was somewhere in the world on our network. :thumbup:


edit: I remembered he kicked our asses too :happysad:
